Expertise

> Commercial & Tech

We advise on general commercial contracts as well as technology contracts (licensing and development agreements), distribution arrangements, franchising and outsourcing. We have a talented team of lawyers who specialise in understanding the detail of these commercial agreements.

Our corporate team focuses on advising entrepreneurs and SMEs in key sectors on all aspects of public and private M&A and private equity investment, as well as fundraisings and equity capital markets transactions, from flotations and secondary offerings to reverse takeovers in the UK’s quoted markets.

At Hamlins, we believe cyber security is so much more than a technology issue. It needs to feature at a much higher level within your organisation, as part of the overall business strategy. We can advise on steps to take to minimise the risk of cyber attacks, through to how to contain a live cyber crisis.

We have vast experience of protecting the reputations of corporates and individual clients. Our focus is on preventing damage by early engagement with the media, and working closely with your representatives to prevent allegations from spreading.

Disputes can disrupt the natural flow of business, cause stress and anxiety and take up valuable financial resources and management time. Litigation can have a direct impact on productivity and finances and can be an unwelcome distraction.

TCF

TCF Overview

Treating Customers Fairly (‘TCF’) was first introduced by the Financial Services Authority in 2006, and remains central to the Financial Conduct Authority’s expectations that firms put the ‘well-being of customers at the heart of how they run a business’.

Associated services

At Hamlins our processes and procedures enable us to fully embrace TCF in everything we do. We are committed to providing the highest standards of service to both our clients and our clients’ customers.

We do this through ensuring the FCA’s six key customer outcomes identified in TCF are borne in mind throughout our actions and our culture.

To achieve this, we have created innovative management information reports so that our clients can be confident TCF is fully integrated into our workflows. Reports can be tailored to individual clients, but have a consistent emphasis on achieving the levels of service envisaged by TCF.

Clients are therefore assured that checks are in place at every stage to ensure the best potential Customer Outcome is achieved, alongside our duty to act in our clients’ best interests.

All staff receive regular training on TCF, which forms part of their induction, and our TCF compliance is backed up with an efficient and effective complaints policy.
